Electronic help needed

    In my save id:1280793, I am having trouble clearing the digital display quick enough for the mechanism to count up. The counter itself takes only 6 frames to increase, whilst the clearing takes longer.

    Is there any way to speed it up? Or is there another way to represent it?

    why can't I view this? ^^^
    Edit-jacob1: because of the <p><span>~1280793</span></p>. Sometimes the WYSIWYG editor randomly inserts the spans for some reason. Other times it doesn't

    @Oats, the problem is that it takes 5 frames for a pixel of LCRY to turn off, and another 5 to turn on. Because of the speed of your counter, you will need a mechanical display like the one shown in the save below.

    EDIT: But then the purpose of the save is kinda ruined, it would have to be different... Most counter actually can go at the same speed as yours, but they add DLAY so that the SPRK comes in slower. (For the same reason, the display goes wacko)

    Thanks dom2mom :) But I can't use that mechanism feeling as if I've stolen it or without redesigning my whole save.

     

    I've decided to turn my counter into a clock insted. The problem is the hour display wont increase past one :(

     

    I'm calling for help again. I can't seem to find the problem.

    It seems that when the piston is moving downwards, the WIFI sparks 2 lines instead of 1.

    When the piston is moving downwards it's not meant to spark anthing D:

    Thanks :)
